What is the current face value equivalent for U.K. "1st" and "2nd" stamps?

I just bought a collection that includes a fairly large run of mint material from about 1995 to 2007. I assume this is all face-value material as opposed to having any philatelic value. Some prestige booklets are included.

Also, is there anything at all worth looking for in used machins? This collection has a spate of machins, including all sorts of regionals. They're all done up on Palo album pages, which seem to have fairly specialized coverage of the machins.

Generally all modern issues are face-value although many seem to think they are worth a lot more. There are a few exceptions. If no one else has added to this by the time I am home later, I will give you a few examples.
This includes a few Machins.
The Prestige Booklets should sell for more than face, some more than others. Let me know which ones you have or check around for prices elsewhere.
Back later.

Machins are always worth a second look. Varieties of phosphor banding etc are numerous. Here is a scan of just a VERY small part of what is possible to give you an idea... and that is just the basic first issues. Some variations were/are only available from Prestige Booklets (modern as well as past PB's) so would be worth more in financial as well as philatelic terms (the X842 listed below is only one example). A specialized list is available online for you to check.

In the next two posts I will show pictures of (1) the used machins, and (2) the face value stuff, just in case there's something that jumps out as obviously being worth more or at least worth investigating.

Apologies for the low quality; these are the original seller's pics. I haven't had time to image anything on my own.

First the machins (assume they are used rather than mint if you cannot tell)...
